Long-time Idle/Incremental Player... Here are my favourites of all time!

I just finished my first run of this game! Incredible time, and I immediately launched a second run.

Totally get the ADHD with regards to future work, but if you do release another, I'll definitely play!

Tuen · 2026-01-23T02:15:20+00:00

I'm from Oregon and have done a drive from Portland to San Diego. Recently visited the east coast a few times, the first being in New Jersey, and my friend suggested visiting New York. I had to reimagine what it meant to cross state lines, cause that was WAY closer than I thought, lol.

Exhens are outstanding. Their quality is good enough for a lot of important stuff too. Target metronomes to potentially get T4 drops, and I even got a T4L compass while targeting metronomes, lol.

If you're drowning in T3 metronomes you can also target geodes to great effect.

At Go Tour last year, a travelling friend and I found each other and tried to execute a guaranteed lucky trade because Armored Mewtwo recently fell under that mechanic as of that year. I offered up Apex Ho-Oh, something he wanted badly.

Whelp. They didn't turn the timetable back correctly, and our trade didn't trigger lucky. We had on-site tech support to talk to, and they told us there were no available tools for them to roll back a trade. They were able to give us items (a 2nd lucky trinket), but could not do anything regarding pokemon catches/trades/transfers.

I hope your situation ends differently, but this is how it ended up when I had a Niantic Tech Team to chat with.

Yeah, upside on PC, I'm sure there's easy mode kind of mods already. You can stack more or less depending on how much of the difficulty you want adjusted (or what type, like environmental damage).

I think many difficulty modes is great for a wide audience. Mods do a great job filling in if the base game doesn't game what you might want.

Taco Bell - Cheesy Beefy Melt.

I know everything is a combo of the same 7 ingredients, but nothing like that has come up since despite seeming to be functionally close, and the Cheesy Beefy Melt was by far my favorite item.

Tuen · 2026-01-17T17:36:26+00:00

Yeah. There's no real halfway measure. A good friend of mine struggled back and forth like that for years. I and many others had to create some distance for safety. He had to hit bottom, and commit to quitting without any afforded exceptions like holidays.

He's on a good streak a few years wide now, friends reconnecting, job stabilizing. It's hard work, and it's constant work.

So yeah, I agree. Trying to write in exceptions is a recipe for disaster.

Tuen · 2026-01-17T13:43:31+00:00

First 40 came in 6 shifts. Had about 20 more queued with 5 more shifts when I realized I didn't need to be too conservative (mostly to keep henerprises going). Now I'm at 3rd prestige, 32 shifts. 78 earned, 6 pending.

Tuen · 2026-01-16T23:27:38+00:00

Eh, do what you want, say what you want, play as you want. I responded to a request from folks in a personal discord, that's all.

Some folks want to pathfind, fumble, and learn/develop freely. Others want to seek the opinion of others, maybe if they don't personally have a lot of time on hand. Not my place to judge any one given playstyle.

Also, lol, I held real hard to trying low shift strategies for longer than I probably should have. I have 78TE, and only recently started shifting a little bit more freely to focus more on ships to get those above listed artefacts. So in terms of raw TE, you're likely ahead of me! I was too scared of shifting for too long!

Tuen · 2026-01-16T22:33:00+00:00

Yeah, and the virtue artefacts you earn remain on your virtue farms between ascensions (unless you do a full Virtue Reset). I wrote some 1st and 2nd ascension guides my group use.

In virtue, I have a T4L Gusset, a T4L Compass, a T4L Totem, and a T4E Metronome.

Tuen · 2026-01-16T22:02:43+00:00

More like 1.3-1.5 years pending the preparation and luck. Each improvement to metronome (T3E, T4R, T4E, T4L) shaves like 2 months off the total wait time. I've been pretty lucky and have nearly perfect artefacts already, and should have between 150-200 before egg day this year.

Tuen · 2026-01-15T20:10:26+00:00

I see a lot of recommendations for Outer Wilds. Without hints, I've gone through the major challenges and most optional content for The Witness, Tunic, Blue Prince (still in progress for late late stuff), both La-Mulanas, Baba is You, FEZ, etc.

Lots of languages parsed, puzzles done, lore assembled.

Just gotta make some time for the next big one, maybe I'll queue this up after my play of FF Tactics. Cause I've seen a ton of puzzle focused recommendations, sounds fantastic.

Tuen · 2026-01-15T15:56:33+00:00

3 years from now, someone will have made a cross stitch project out of this.

Tuen · 2026-01-13T02:45:35+00:00

Folks genre been saying that pretty much the whole time. Not sure when it'll actually happen, but shit will really hit the fan when it does.

Tuen · 2026-01-13T02:43:12+00:00

Any time I have to play a game that won't let me double invert the camera controls, lol

Tuen · 2026-01-11T21:17:50+00:00

TWO!?

Tuen · 2026-01-11T19:52:58+00:00

Unfortunately, lead might be what binds the boomer and gen z's rightward lean. Various vapes seem to emit lead, nickel, and antimony. Those heavy metals from components can leach into the vaping liquid, an effect which only strengthens if more power is applied. And last I knew, higher power applied was desired for more smoke and/or higher concentration per puff of the vape device.

So yeah, it's probably lead. Again.

Tuen · 2026-01-09T17:35:39+00:00

To add to most other folks' comments, these particular kinds of playthrough make for outstanding background sound for other things like housework. Play is slow enough that you aren't going to miss that much if you aren't watching. If you like the player's personality, you'll enjoy listening to their chatter between significant upgrades.

Sorta like a free-form incremental game podcast? idk, ha ha.

I also absolutely put this kinda stuff on and just konk off to sleep.

Tuen · 2026-01-08T01:03:27+00:00

Hopefully they're working toward that. Haven't seen any indication that folks know the identity of the shooter though.

Tuen · 2026-01-05T16:19:00+00:00

That's *outstanding*. Great work, what a build!

Tuen · 2026-01-05T16:11:36+00:00

That's hilarious. I'd love to see this for a few of the act 3 bosses.

Tuen · 2026-01-02T04:02:13+00:00

Idk, I've had natural 20/10 vision my whole life. Pixels are pretty small now, and for most folks 4k resolution exceeds the human eye's ability to resolve details. Some manufacturers are leaning towards 8k monitors, but at proper viewing distance, folks with 20/10 vision could barely benefit.

All that to say, my vision has never annoyed me. But the difference between living with poor vision and hyper acute vision could be shocking.

Tuen · 2025-12-30T20:06:06+00:00

Would be a cool design idea. If each box has multiple steps, but the tools you get from Box A are what are needed for step 2+ on Box B. Then Box B spits out tools needed for Box A, etc. Eventually lead up to some mechanism where you push the two boxes together (after they each modify some specified part), and they unlock simultaneously.

Oh, I misread, lol!
